Predictors of de Novo Urge Urinary Incontinence After Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate...
Prostatic HyperplasiaUrgency1 moreThe aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of de novo urge urinary incontinence after the photoselective vaporization of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia using the validated overactive bladder symptom score, and to determine the predictors of de novo urge urinary incontinence following the photoselective vaporization of the prostate.

Linear Growth of Children With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal HyperplasiaThe congenital adrenal hyperplasias (CAHs) comprise a family of autosomal recessive disorders that disrupt adrenal steroidogenesis. Three specific enzyme deficiencies are associated with virilization of affected women. The most common form is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) due to mutations in the 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) gene. Other virilizing forms include 3b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD3B2) and 11b-hydroxylase deficiencies associated with mutations in the HSD3B2 and 11b-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) genes, respectively.

Learning Curve of Digital Rectal Examination for Prostate Cancer Among Internship
Prostatic NeoplasmsDigital Rectal Examination1 moreThe investigators conduct this prospective study to investigate the learning curve of digital rectal examination (DRE) for prostate cancer among internship. The investigators want to know how many DRE are usually needed for internship to be performed in urological practice to obtain a stable DRE accuracy.

Genetic Susceptibility for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants
Bronchopulmonary DysplasiaDespite considerable obstetric and neonatal advances in the care of very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) continues to occur among 20 to 40% of surviving infants, and new ways for combatting this disease must be found. BPD appears to result from arrested lung development, but its etiology has not yet been fully established. Besides the role of the exposure of the immature lung to injurious factors in the development of BPD, a genetic susceptibility for BPD in preterm infants was recently evidenced. Taking advantage of new genomic technologies, the objective of the investigators' project is to identify predisposing human genetic variants through: a genome-wide association (GWA) study in VLBW neonates, a candidate-gene association study, including selection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found in (a) and functional studies of any SNP found to be convincingly associated with BPD in (a) and (b).

Impact of Postoperative Pyuria on Treatment Outcomes After PVP
Prostatic HyperplasiaPyuriaThe aim of this study was to identify serial changes in the incidence of postoperative pyuria after the Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP), to determine whether the presence of postoperative pyuria could be correlated with surgical outcomes after surgery and to identify predicting factors that influence on persistent pyuria after the PVP.
